gardening will be shared. Terra-Nova has

natural state of mind that brings balance to the bodily systems. There are
techniques which have been used for millennium which allow us to achieve this
wonderful state in a short time. Those who attend meditation sessions regularly
will quickly learn to practice these techniques and reach a meditative state to
reduce stress, increase memory, improve physical health and mental awareness.
These group meditations include individual instruction to assist attendees to
meditate and reach a comfortable personal level of relaxation. These sessions
are free for everyone to attend. Donations from non-Garden members are

Garden
Yoga
Did you know that Buddha became enlightened sitting under a ficus tree? Meditate under our Ficus benjamina and discover your own purpose for being. Yoga classes in the Garden encompass a blend of strengthening, stretching and relaxation outdoors on the terrace. Instructor Terra-Nova (RYT) brings a different theme to class each week that prepares you to pursue a higher state of consciousness. Both the Monday and the Wednesday classes are accessible to all skill levels, however the Wednesday class tends to be more rejuvenating and slow paced, while the Monday class is energizing and faster paced. Mats are available on a first-come first serve basis. All donations given at this class support the Garden. Suggested donation of $5 for Garden members, $10 non-members.
